Purchased this unit on a Saturday morning, by Sunday afternoon I had been notified it was already in transit, Monday morning I was notified it was in town, and by Wednesday afternoon it was in my driveway. Never got notified it was being delivered, it just showed up. I was able to assemble and get it completed in 20 hrs. including staining and protecting the woodwork, I would highly recommend sorting, inventorying, staining and waterproofing before you start assembly, assembly was not difficult, however it requires you to VERY CLOSELY look and follow the instructions or you're going to screw up. The quality of the wood was very good, all the holes and hardware lined up and went smooth, you're going to need at least 3 people to stand it up (will need them for a couple hours). My only complaints are the crappy anchors they send for the concrete are terrible (I opted to get some real red head concrete anchors instead) and the metal roofing doesn't extend past the drip edge far enough to work very well (1/4" as per instructions). I already have a spot developing on one of the main posts where the wood split a little due to an imperfection in the grain and is starting to swell up some after a good rain, it was stained and water sealed with 2 coats prior, we will see how it goes and maybe need to warranty that post down the road if it continues to get worse. I am likely to purchase another one to build an outdoor kitchen under if this proves to hold up well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are loving our grill gazebo! It has plenty of space. It is sturdy and was easy to set up. Ours is actually set up backwards so that water drains away from the house but it still looks great! We get so many compliments when we have cookouts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. I needed help and of course our kids are all adults and couldn't help me assemble, so my wife aided me. For the very first time, we were able to complete a project with no bickering, hurt feelings or bad words. Easy to follow directions and simple 2 person assembly made this a perfect addition to our pool area. I used the table to aid in assembly also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My New Gasebo from BYD is awesome!! Looks great, very well made and easy to put together! My back deck was so hot and I very rarely went out there, but now it's my new hangout! I've added a fan and Bluetooth speakers... Awesome!

I searched for the largest, most affordable structure I could find to make an outdoor kitchen. This was it! It was a little intimidating at first with the parts that came in 11 huge boxes, but it was pretty easy to assemble. Two of us did most of it but a third person was needed at to move and make adjustments. I am in love with how this turned out and definitely recommend it. Price cannot be beat for the size and the material.

I purchased the saxony XL last summer and built it on a deck I built specifically for this gazebo. I absolutely love the functionality of the gazebo from keeping my grills protected, providing sun cover for me, to adding a beautiful conversation piece to the back yard. I added LED rope lights, a menu board and a hook for my apron. I plan to gutter the back this week. the assembly was straight forward and took a day or two working mostly alone. The roof was a four person job. I have recommended this to friends without hesitation. I just stained the whole structure this summer with Cabot semitransparent cedar wood stain. It looks great!

Very nice piece for your property! Website offers someone to put it together for you for an expensive price. Honestly this project was over whelming coming out of the box.. full table of hardware (nuts, washers and bolts) 2 tarps full of pieces to assemble. Having it together and knowing what I know now I’d pay to have it put together unless you have a solid week of nothing to do… us 2 men got it put together in 4 sun up to sun down days… The app to use to build this is absolutely awesome. 360 view and you can tap every item to see what it is (down to a washer) and rotate it any way you want. I wish every assemble project was on that app. Although we did run into some part number issues and had to refer back to the hard copy Manuel as bolts 999 do not exist in the package and the app calls for them. A few things where off from the app to book but it was easy to figure out once we looked at the book. Still very worth using the app for assembly. 10/10 recommend staining before putting together. Each section and center beams where 4 boards that had to be bolted together to make one board, that seemed like it could have just been one board cut to spec for each section and would have saved about a days labor but I’m not an engineer so take that for what it’s worth. Also the sheet metal roof, each section of the roof (3) sections came with one little small strip of sheet metal to put at the end of each section. The sheet metal could have been cut wider to fit 8 sheets per section instead of 8 and adding the little strip.. that added extra time to the build. Once all together it’s super heavy, very sturdy and beautiful. We used this to cover our concrete pad at the back door to turn it into a covered patio instead of using it as a carport. It worked great and fits right under the gutters almost against the house. All in all PAY someone to put it together for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first Backyard Discovery Gazebo in August in preparation for my partner’s birthday party. We added blinking string lights across the entire ceiling. Everyone just loved the look. I loved it so much that i bought a second Backyard Discovery Gazebo to add to the look. I am truly considering a third to place all of my cooking appliances under them.

Nice-sized grill gazebo for our new grill and small smoker. Assembly was relatively straight-forward with 2 people, and took most of the day. They did a great job putting this kit together so the pieces fit and made assembly easy. We did put a clear polyurethane on all the cedar pieces before assembling, to preserve the color and make it last longer... if there is a stain on it, you can't tell as the wood is very thirsty for more. Very pleased with the hardware, and the fact it came with a couple spares. The roof is okay... I wish it extended out further on the sides to protect the counters/tables, further out the back, and wish it had a greater slope for shedding rain and snow. We may eventually end up altering the roof ourselves. Overall, I'm happy with it. It looks great on our patio and will be very usable in nice weather.

We bought this gazebo to replace a cloth topped unit we have had for 3 years. The packaging was great, the boxes sat covered on my trailer for 2 months while we refurbished our deck prior to setting up the gazebo. I was pleased to see everything was in good shape when we unpacked everything. We did not have a chance to inspect the boxes at delivery, so we inspected after they had left, and where pleased to see all looked good. The metal roof installation can be tricky since you can't walk it, but it turned out good. I added a black drip edge to low end, and will have a 5" gutter installed as well. My only criticism of the unit is the front and rear ends are not solid pieces. The sandwiching at the ends of them are not ideal in my opinion. But overall a very nice unit and I would recommend highly.
